CoSTAR Live Lab is a brand new R&D facility based at Production Park near Wakefield. Live Lab is part of the £75m government-funded CoSTAR Network, and supports innovation in immersive, multisensory and interactive technologies to transform audience experience, shaping next-generation live experiences for screen, stage and into the metaverse.

CoSTAR Live Lab is excited to welcome Dr Phil Coleman for an exciting public talk exploring the innovative L-ISA technology by L-Acoustics, which we have as part of our facilities.

L-ISA technology by L-Acoustics uses object-based immersive audio to create a deep connection between artists and audiences. For creatives and engineers, the L-ISA workflow allows flexible spatial content production that scales seamlessly from a home studio to an arena show. For audiences, integrated immersive reproduction and acoustic enhancement creates a strong connection to the artist and their music. In his talk, we will introduce L-ISA and explain how our research and technology helps to connect artists and audiences. There will be opportunities after the talk to hear L-ISA in action.

Phil is Senior Immersive Audio Research Engineer at L-Acoustics. His research includes the engineering and perception of active acoustics systems and the influence of room acoustics on electroacoustic system design. Previously, he spent over a decade in academic research and teaching at the University of Surrey.

Phil’s talk will take place on the 11th of June between 14:00-15:00. The talk is open to in-person attendees at Live Lab’s Production Park home, and will also be available as a live online video stream. After the talk, we invite in-person attendees to join us for networking from 3pm-4pm at Production Park’s CentR Stage Cafe. This will be an excellent opportunity to engage with our speakers, fellow attendees and to meet the CoSTAR Live Lab team.
